[Gesth-l] Fwd: New Masters in Interdisciplinary Gender Studies, Lund University Sweden, autumn 2007

[Rédai Dorottya]

    New Master's Programme in Gender Studies,  120 Swedish credits (2 years)  http://www.sam.lu.se/o.o.i.s/7756

  The Faculty of Social Sciences at Lund  University, Lund, Sweden is pleased to announce a new international  masters program in Gender Studies, offered in English and starting in  autumn 2007. Like all Swedish university education, there is no tuition  however masters students are responsible for their own costs of  living.

  This interdisciplinary social science master's programme aims  to provide students with the core elements through which current feminist  theories, in dialogue with established academic disciplines, have  contributed to the understanding of broader social processes. The major  objective of the programme is to improve the student’s ability to  critically examine, evaluate and discuss the field’s most important  theoretical perspectives and research results. With these skills students  will be able to formulate and analyse interconnections between theory and  practice concerning gender, class, ethnicity and sexuality.

  Students will acquire a critical social science approach which prepares  them for postgraduate studies as well as professional work in a variety  of fields: health, organisational management, development, communication,  social policy among others. 
  Teaching Staff
  The program is coordinated by the Centre for Gender Studies at Lund  University and the staff includes lecturers and professors from the  Faculty of Social Sciences. Teaching staff includes Diana Mulinari, Marta  Cuesta, , Peter Dahlgren, Tiina Rosenberg, Margot Bengtsson, Sara  Goodman, Johanna Esseveld  and others. 

  Programme structure
  The programme comprises a total of 120 Swedish credits (2 years)  divided into six courses of 15 credits each and a Master’s thesis of 30  credits.

  The first semester begins with a profile course introducing the students  to the main themes and issues of the programme. This is followed by a  course in the theory of science for the social sciences, where students  are stimulated to advance their academic thinking and deepen their  understanding of how knowledge is produced and reproduced.

  The second semester begins with another profile course directly related  to the main theme of the programme. Through the profile course students  further increase their understanding and knowledge of global development  through a deeper comprehension of theories and current   research.

  This is followed, in the second half of the second semester, by a course  in research methods, which provides the students with skills required for  independent research.

  The third semester consists of optional courses to be taken at Lund  University or any other recognised university in Sweden or abroad. The  courses are chosen after approval of the programme coordinator, and  enable students to tailor the programme to suit their particular  interests.

  During the fourth and last semester students complete the programme with  a written thesis, which provides the opportunity to demonstrate mastery  of theories, methods and argumentation.

  The courses are studied in the following order:

  • Gender, Class, Ethnicity and Sexuality, 15 credits (first half of the  first semester)
  • Theory of Science for the Social Sciences, 15 credits (second half of  the first semester)
  • Critical Feminist Perspectives on Social Theory, 15 credits (first half  of the second semester)
